Solving disputes with efficiency and empathy

Our highly experienced practitioners provide you with practical and objective advice in relation to the particular dispute at hand and provide you with a cost sensitive and solution-focused resolution to your dispute.

Contested probate is a growing phenomenon for a variety of reasons, influenced by:

A considerable build-up of wealth for a large section of the population,

family relationships becoming more complicated,

home-made wills, will writers and online will writing services which can produce a greater number of mistakes,

a heightened awareness of people’s rights and a willingness to pursue them through litigation if required.

There can be a variety of situations which cause a Will to become open to challenge. These could include:

that the correct formalities have not been followed and the will was not properly executed;

the individual who made the will did not have the capacity at the time to make the Will, or;

that the person making the Will was unduly influenced by other people to make a Will which was not in accordance with their own wishes.

In addition to the above, it may be the case that you have been left out of a Will. In light of your relationship to the deceased individual who has made the Will you may be entitled to a share of the deceased’s assets even if you are not included in the Will.
